<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1491995, member: 35227&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently discovered (thanks to gbroke) the amazing benefits of 2 lamps/light sources instead of 1. I&#039;ve been fiddling around for a few hours and here&#039;s the best I could come up with:</p><p><br /></p><p>Original photo:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]190143.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After using Photoscape, here&#039;s what it turned out to look like:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]190144.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any tips to make the photo (EDIT: the original photo, not the &quot;edited&quot; Photoscape version) look better? What angles do you photographers put your light sources around the coin? I&#039;m having a hard time positioning them around the coin to give it an even light, while still showing off the luster...while also trying to make sure the light isn&#039;t blocked out by my camera lol. I&#039;ve tried axial lighting, the milk jug, and simple straight on shots (with flash). So far, my current setup is working the best.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, the camera I&#039;m using is a Panasonic Lumix (around a $150 camera...nothing super fancy). It has max shutter speed 1/250, adjustable +/- exposure, and a moderate macro zoom. It is worth investing in a new camera?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the help!</p><p>-CB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
